Well…with the attacks on Brussels yesterday and the loss of life there, of course we have the repub candidates spouting off what needs to happen next here in the US….yeah…an attack on Europe means that these idiots have another chance to politicize the suffering of the victims for their own benefit…starting with ole Donald this morning going on the morning shows saying that, if he was president, he would close the borders and start torturing people to try to get “information” he never said what information or who from but he was damn sure that torturing was the way to get it….then, he went on to brag that he was right about every terrorist attack ever in the history of the world and then drove down the nonsense rathole that he seems to always go down…can’t even figure out what he means most of the time…then, we have ole Ted Cruz saying that we need new laws to allow the police to “patrol and secure” Muslim areas of the country…and, I would assume, enter Muslim American homes to make sure that there is nothing going on…never mind that this is just what the English did that triggered the Revolutionary War and led to the 4th amendment that ole Ted is supposed to revere….I just can’t believe these guys are the leaders of the modern repub party…well…yeah, I can..they are the distillation of the hate and fear that the repubs have won elections on for the past 30 years….I’m just glad it’s out in the open now so the rest of us can see that reality…it’s not pretty…..geez…
